My new Gator Pit

[Capt Jeff]

Finally! After seems like months of waiting (in reality more like 7 weeks), I was able to bring home my new pit.

It is a Gator Back Yard Classic - 20x32 w/ round firebox, and two shelves inside. Would have included some pictures, but in the process of moving them from my camera to the computer they got lost

Spent the afternoon seasoning and tuning, now it is ready to go. Will probably be smoking some chickens and turkey breasts on Friday. Will post some pictures then.

Camera broke??

In the Eloquent words of OSD, didnt really happen unless there are pics to prove it !!! lol

[Capt Jeff]

Had a technical glitch in the software when moving the original pics from camera to computer.

Here's a couple I took this afternoon:

Seriously eyeballing a "Party Gator" order in the near future. Looks like a fine product.

[jackh]

let us know how you like it. im trying to decide between one of these or a comparable klose.

Cooked on the new pit yesterday. Worked great. Took much less babysitting than my old New Braunfels Hondo smoker. Very tight around all the doors and the temp was easy to regulate with a fairly small fire.

The pit is a dream to run.

AWESOME...BE SURE AND POST THE RESULTS...

Interesting thing: I just realized that the pits on their web site pictures have the fire box on the right side and yours has it on the left. Any particular reason you chose having it on the left?
